Nice trucks and very interesting photo album of your normal(our wierd) trucks!

until 1978 when GM abandoned Argentina they were all Chevrolet plus Opel K180 (I posted some pictures above)
as a resume, in 1978 GM Argentina had for sell:
C10 shortbed fleetside pickup. (230" and 250" six-in-line)
4 door opel K180 (a 4 cylinder engine based on the 6 in line)
Chevy Nova 4 door Super and Malibu models (Malibu was the full model) with 230" and 250"
Chevy Nova coupe SS, exactly like mine with 250"
here is a post of the 1978 coupe similar to mine (all original)

the cost depends on the conditions of the vehicle. you can buy rotten chevys for 1 or 2 thousand dollars (i mean almost destroyed with no engine...)

a chevrolet in a usable condition (re-painted) goes from 5 thousand dls and up.

a nova coupe like mine its the most wanted model. recently a guy offered me 20.000 dollars... and i said no! lots of people insulted me telling that i'm crazy... and yes... I AM!!!

a pick-up its around the same prices, 5 thousand and up. but mines are priceless!

greetings from argentina
